Actor Lee Sang-i is making waves with a standout supporting role in "Becoming the Legend of the Cook's Assistant."

In TVING's original series "Becoming the Legend of the Cook's Assistant," Lee Sang-i plays Captain Hwang Seok-ho of the 4th Company, delivering a presence that far exceeds a typical special appearance from the very beginning.

With a neatly trimmed haircut, a crisp military uniform, and a gentle smile as he savors the aroma of coffee, the character Seok-ho, known for his "refined palate," exuded a unique atmosphere from his first appearance.

Seok-ho sets the story in motion with a single line, "Shall we order the cook's assistant?" sending Kang Seong-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon) on his journey as the "legendary YoLisa." He also takes responsibility for heightening the drama's tension by making a decisive move to immediately transfer Seong-jae to TOD (Thermal Observation and Surveillance Duty), instantly changing his assignment.

Furthermore, Lee Sang-i creates laughter by taking selfies while on duty with sunglasses on, and injects humor with his cool yet naturally charming demeanor, shouting phrases like "Thank you for your service," "All right!" and "That's right!" Additionally, he swiftly shuts down a confrontation with Lieutenant Jo Ye-rin (played by Han Dong-hee), who tries to block Seong-jae's transfer, with the line, "I'm trying to be nice, and you're trying to teach me?" instantly ending the situation and immediately showcasing Seok-ho's formidable weight.

Prior to the broadcast, Lee Sang-i revealed at the production press conference, "I'm appearing so much that it's a special appearance." His masterful control of pacing and timing, evident even in just the first two episodes, hints at why his screen time has increased. As the series progresses, Lee Sang-i, the "hidden card" who injects vitality into the story, continues to draw even greater anticipation.

"Becoming the Legend of the Cook's Assistant" airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. on TVING and tvN.
